Any Muscat fans here? Today I am going to talk about this variety but in a slightly different way then the dry still white usually you can get from Alsace and other regions. Moscato d'Asti is an underrated treasure of Piedmont, Italy. A sweet sparkling wine which has seen only one fermentation and has a very low alcohol content. We have gone through the whole winemaking process in the IG Live with Vinchio Vaglio @vinchiovaglio ,check it out for more information! Now I would like to share the tasting notes. It has a pale lemon color and a medium viscosity with slight effervescence in the glass. The nose is very floral with orange blossom flower, acacia, elderflower, honeysuckle complimented with citrus fruits, grpaes and some apricots. It is a pleasantly sweet wine with medium plus acidity, low alcohol and a medium plus body. The palate show flavours of elderflower, honey, lemon, grapes with a long finish. A very good quality which best to drink while it's young and chilled to 6-8°C. Have it as an aperitif, next to creamy pasta dishes and creamy cheeses. It is the perfect choice for a wide range of sweets thanks to its bubbles and sweetness, specially with heavily creamy desserts. Which type of Muscat or Moscato is your favourite? Have you tasted a Moscato d'Asti before? . . . . . #italianwinelover #winesofitaly #sweetwine #moscatodasti #wineaddiction #whitewinelover #whitewinetime #wineknowledge #winetravel #winestyle #sweetwines #winetasting #wineblend #wineblogger #wineblog #instahungary #pezsgő #magyarinsta #mutimitiszol #weißwein #sommelierlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #winephotography #sommlife #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #sparklingwines I Werbung (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDx4pbtEUK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today I have started my countdown as in exactly 2 weeks I am getting married! And for that occasion I would like to share with you one of the wine we are going to sip on the party! A Czech wine from the southern Moravian region with a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale, Müller Thurgau. Produced by Mladé Vinarství which means "Young Winery" founded in 2010 and now owned and managed by my dear friend and ex-collegue, Filip @zapulsta . When I have tasted this wine, I was looking for a nice, sweet, enjoyable one and I think I made the right decision! A light golden yellow color on the wine with medium minus viscosity. Apricots, yellow apples, pear, orange, elderflower, honey and a touch of butteriness with vanilla notes on the nose. As I said, a sweet wine but with a very fresh, high acidity, medium alcohol, creamy texture with medium plus body. I detect flavours of honey, vanilla, orangepeel, peaches and elderflower with a medium plus lenght. A very good quality wine which best to drink within 3-5 years while it's young on 8-10°C. I would pair with all sorts of cheeses, a nice Austrian apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce or drink it as an aperitif. Do you have any experience with Müller Thurgau or Czech wines? . . . . . . #moravianwine #czechwine #sweetwine #mullerthurgau #wineaddiction #whitewinelover #whitewinetime #wineknowledge #winetravel #winestyle #sweetwines #winetasting #wineblend #wineblogger #wineblog #instahungary #fehérbor #magyarinsta #mutimitiszol #weißwein #sommelierlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #winephotography #sommlife #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #weddingwine (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSfPSk9ty0s/?utm_medium=tumblr

Any Chenin blanc fans over here?! Chenin is the queen of the Loire but it has found its other throne in South Africa as well. A leading material of the white wines and it results of some superb examples even so far from Europe too! As we know, Chenin can have so many different faces and styles from a light dry wine through an oaked full bodied to a lusciously sweet gem. Today we are having a lovely medium bodied, refreshing wine. But let's see in details what can this 2020 vintage from Stellenrust @stellenrust_wines give us as a wine tasting experience! It has a deeper lemon color with some green hues and a medium plus viscosity. On the nose we get ripe tropical fruits of pineapple, banana, grapefruits with pear, lemonpeel, apricots and a hint of honeysuckle. As I said it is a dry wine with high acidity, medium plus alcohol content and a medium body with refreshing notes of lemonpeel, orange, grapefruits, pineapple, pear and quince with a medium plus lenght. Very good quality wine which best to drink in the next 1-3 years on 8-10°C. You can easily pair with everything fresh and crisp like salads, fish and seafood dishes and goat cheese. Which one is your favourite style of Chenin blanc? . . . . . #wineblog #winephotography #wineaddicted #wineblogger #wineaddiction #weißwein #winesofsouthafrica #wineknowledge #wineinfluencer #winestyle #winetravel #winetasting🍷 #cheninblanc #instahungary #mutimitiszol #sommlife #sommlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #wineeducation #travellingsommelier #youcansipwithus #sommeliere #winelovers🍷 #giveanewwineago #wineoftheworld (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPtDFrXNjaU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let's talk about wine education and books today, shall we? Unfortunately it is not enough to only drink and taste wine in order to know more about them but it requires a little bit of reading if we want to talk about a certain bottle and its history and content. I want to show my latest book I had about the subject and want to recommend you as I really enjoy reading it! Drinking & knowing things by Michael Amon @drinkingandknowing is a very easy read and a wine mastercalss if you will with 52 recommendations. There are one wine for every week of the year that you can purchase and taste along the book and these are not the typical choices for sure! An avarage these wines costs around 20€ and really shows some great example of that type of wine. Michael knows his stuff as he travelled around the wine regions of the World and now he is about to get his Master of Wine degree. I have found numerous new information in the book despite my advanced certifications so even if you are in the business for a while this is for you too. I think, I have some shopping to do now beacause there are lots of recs in it that I need to try myself. If you want to get this book for you too, you can find the amazon link in my bio, just to make it easier! Also, I have some photos of my other wine books that I recommend you as well to read if you want to learn more, swipe for them if you are interested! Which is your favourite wine book? Or the one you found the most useful for learning? . . . . #wineoftheworld #winebook #bookrecommendation #wineaddiction #redwinetime #wineknowledge #winetravel #winetasting #winestyle #winerytour #wineblend I Werbung (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPnuDHTNYjC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tokaj has a special place in my heart and palate but I have only shown you Aszú wines so far. Today we will get to know another specialty from the region, called Szamorodni. It's a Polish word meaning "as it comes" referring the winemaking method. For Szamorodni, all grapes are harvested from ripe to noble rotted and fermented then aged together resulting a complex, beautiful wine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That can be either dry or sweet, depending on the style the winemaker wants to achieve. This is a dry Szamorodni from the Angyal winery made in the 2018 vintage. As you can imagine, it has a high alcohol content of 14,5% and made from the Furmint variety.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to know more about Furmint and the region of Tokaj, check my articles about them in my blog!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This Szamorodni has a medium deep golden color with a medium plus viscosity. Intense nose of ripe peaches, pear, golden apple, orange peel, white pepper and ginger.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Complex wine with medium plus acidity, well-integrated alcohol, medium plus body with flavours of peach, quince, pear, honeysuckle, apple and orange with a long finish.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Good quality wine that can be consumed in the next 5-8 years easily when it is chilled to 8-10°C. Perfect on its own or with not too sweet desserts (muffins or pies) and rich poultry dishes and with cassolettes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you ever tasted a Szamorodni before? If yes, how did you like it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hungarianwine #hungary #tokaji #tokajiaszu #wineaddiction #whitewinelover #whitewinetime #wineknowledge #winetravel #winestyle #sweetwine #winetasting #wineblend #wineblogger #wineblog #instahungary #magyarbor #magyarinsta #mutimitiszol #fehérbor #sommelierlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #winephotography #sommlife #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #szamorodni (at Donaustadt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNB3ZeD7i5/?igshid=kqqwasr5he37

Another day with another great producer from Hungary from the Villány wine region.🍷 This time I would like to introduce the @polgar_pince with Mr. Zoltán Polgár who was the winemaker of the year in 1996 in Hungary.🤗 I had the chance to meet him personaly last week and have a look in his cellar and I must say he is an absolute delight! 💕 This wine on the photo was tasted 2 weeks ago in Budapest and this is the top cuvée of the winery.🔝 Elixir 2012 is a blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Blaufrankisch with an extended oak aging in new barrels which gives the wine its chocolaty🍫, cinnamony character with dried black fruit flavour. A very well balanced wine for your wine collection for the next 10 to 15 years for its peak.👌 Mr. Polgár has a huge wine colletion of his wines with 35.000 bottles and as he said to me, he is not able to drink them all so he likes to share the older vintages time to time on tastings. That's why last week he has decanted a 1997 pure Cabernet Franc on a walkaround tasting where everyone brought their last vintages. 😍And the wine was still fresh and full of life! Just like Mr. Polgár it was generous and I enjoyed their company very much! What is the oldest vintage you have ever tasted? And which wine was that? 🍷 . . . . . . #hungarianwine #hungary🇭🇺 #bordeauxblend #wineaddiction #redwinetime #wineknowledge #winetravel #winetasting #winestyle #winerytour #wineblend #wineblogger #wineblog #instahungary #mutimitiszol #villanyifranc #vörösbor #somm #sommelierlifestyle #neverstoptasting #winephotography #sommlife #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #vinorosso #wein #wine #wineeducation #womeninwine (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dptK1ngXH/?igshid=15raps890oozq

Let's continue our series about the most notable wineries and winemakers in Hungary and in the region of Villány. 🍷 Mr. Ede Tiffán from @tiffanwinery is one of the most important name is the industry of the region, he was in the first ones to produce high quality 👌wines for the international market as well as made a huge effort to establish the wines from Villány as premium quality🔝 and worth to buy and invest in them. I had the chance to have a bigger tasting of his range 2 years ago but today I would like to talk about the wine on the photo which I have tried 2 weeks ago in Budapest.🍷 The Elysium from 2013 is a single vineyard wine comes from the Ördögárok Dűlő just like the Günzer wine. But this one is a 100% Merlot🍇 matured one and a half years in hungarian and french oak barrels. It is a well-balanced wine with soft tannins and ripe fresh fruit aromas of plums, cherries 🍒and blueberries and start to show more earthy characters. What do you think of hungarian wines? . . . . . . . #hungarianwine #hungary🇭🇺 #bordeauxblend #wineaddiction #redwinetime #wineknowledge #winetravel #winetasting #winestyle #winerytour #wineblend #wineblogger #wineblog #instahungary #mutimitiszol #villanyifranc #vörösbor #somm #sommelierlifestyle #neverstoptasting #winephotography #sommlife #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #vinorosso #wein #wine #wineeducation #womeninwine (at Mátyásföld, Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5a9eynHA68/?igshid=1e93zvsm6bg4b

Today we continue what we have started the last few days and I brought another great producer from the region of Villány in Hungary. 🔝 I have mentioned their name in the last post, Mr. Tamás Gere is the cousin of Mr. Attila Gere from @gere_attila_pinceszete but today it is Tamás' son, Zsolt, who is responsible for these amazing wines at @geretamaseszsoltpinceszete .🍷 They have 35 hectares of vines 🍇where they are making 300-350 tousand bottles a year. Their entry level wines are for the younger generation with lighter and more affordable style and then there is the classicus category. These are the wines from every vintage and above that the premium and super premium category only from exceptional vintages.👌 I have tried the premium selection while I was in their cellar door but it is going to be another post, today I would like to focus on the super premium Villányi Franc 2012 which I had the chance to taste a week before in Budapest. It is a single vineyard product from the Várerdő Dűlő and made from 100% Cabernet Franc. It is a really fresh, herbal wine with cherry 🍒 notes and subtile oak flavours of tobacco and vanilla. A full bodied and extremly well balanced wine which you can keep in the cellar for an additional 10-15 years at least.😍 I will tell you more about them in my next post with the other wines I have tasted from them and let you know why I love their wines so much! 💕 Have you tasted them before? Let me know in the comment section! . . . . . . . #hungarianwine #hungary🇭🇺 #bordeauxblend #wineaddiction #redwinetime #wineknowledge #winetravel #winetasting #winestyle #winerytour #wineblend #wineblogger #wineblog #instahungary #mutimitiszol #villanyifranc #vörösbor #somm #sommelierlifestyle #neverstoptasting #winephotography #sommlife #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #vinorosso #wein #wine #wineeducation #womeninwine (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5YfcF_HNW0/?igshid=1ioillfkzh58o
